Honda impress with new colour ways for best seller

Europe’s best-selling tourer stays fresh for 27YM with new colour line-up

New shades available on both NT1100 and NT1100 Electronic Suspension models
NT1100 remains Europe’s best-selling tourer in 2026, with a 48% segment share

Since its introduction for 22YM, the ‘New Tourer’ 1100 has won legions of fans across Europe, topping the touring category sales charts every year since 2023. With over 25,000 sold, the NT1100’s popularity rests on a timeless combination of engaging performance, sweet handling and long-range comfort. Packed with a raft of the latest technology, it offers a unique and contemporary take on classic tourer qualities.

For 27YM, the NT1100 has been updated with a new colour line-up, with two all-new paints schemes joining the lineup. The colours have been chosen to complement the comprehensive 25YM redesign, when the NT received updates to its styling, performance and handling. Headlines included Daytime Running Lights complete with subtly integrated indicators, a refined and improved adjustable screen, 7% more low- and mid-range torque from the proven 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine and the introduction of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa-EERA™) suspension working through a 6-axis IMU.

With these upgrades paired with a comprehensive spec list that includes a full colour 6.5-inch TFT touch screen with smartphone connectivity, cruise control, upgraded heated grips, ACC and USB charging sockets, self-cancelling indicators, Emergency Stop Signals (ESS) and a centre stand, it’s clear to see the reasons for the NT1100’s status as Europe’s best-selling tourer.

The 27YM NT1100 will continue to be offered with the choice of either conventional six-speed manual transmission or Honda’s proven Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). Honda has sold over 300,000 DCT-equipped motorcycles across Europe since the system first appeared as an option on the VFR1200F in 2010.

For 27YM, NT1100 and NT1100 Electronic Suspension’s revised colour line-up will comprise the following three options:

*NEW* Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
*NEW* Mat Beta Silver Metallic
Pearl Hawkseye Blue
